Just to say a big thanks for the yoga and meditation classes. Its probably obvious…but I am very much enjoying the classes and my body and mind are saying thank you thank you thank you after some few years of neglect!! You have a really great way of running the classes

~LL, Exmouth

Big thank you for yesterday’s Nidra session, it was just fantastic AND I had the best night’s sleep that I have had for months! So a really big thank you!

~JM, Sidmouth

I have driven all the way from Wales for a nap (Yoga Sleep!) and what a special “nap” it was

~JD, Wales

Just to let you know that your class today was wonderful. I was completely in tune with you and as for the relaxation, well WOW is possibly the best way of describing it. It was a truly moving experience that I have never been able to experience before. I have not stopped smiling and repeating the word WOW all afternoon! That was an extremely meaningful and spiritual encounter for me.

~CW, Devon

I look foward to attending Julie’s yoga class, its a highlight of my week. Its my time to relax, re-energize and I have the best nights sleep after class. I love it!

I love that every one of Julie’s yoga classes is different & she always gives a range of options to suit the beginners and more advanced students. Julie has taken me from complete novice to confidently practicing yogic poses in a matter of weeks. I love the weekly yoga classes, they are a fantastic way to relax, rejuvinate and keep your body supple & strong.

~CB, Exeter

Julie’s Yoga Nidra workshop was amazing. The yoga session was just what I needed & the Nidra was a wonderful experience. I left feeling fully restored, calm and full of energy. I would recommend the Nidra class to everyone.

~WH, Exeter

Yoga Nidra is ideal for mums to be, as it’s so relaxing and gentle. You create a safe and comfortable space, where people can really enjoy some much needed downtime. It was quite possibly the most relaxing two hours of my pregnancy!

~AA, Exeter

Thank you so very much for a wonderful Yoga Nidra session. Baby and I had a really lovely time and I felt rejuvenated afterwards! I definitely be back for more once the baby has arrived.

Yoga Sleep Testimonials

Thank you for this brilliant CD! Our 5 ½ year old daughter (who has sleep issues due as she is unable to allow her brain to relax) listens to it every night , and it has really help her to calm down at bedtime. For us, we can see a real positive change, and she is often less frantic when going to bed following using the CD, and sometimes she even falls asleep before the end – a real result!! She has asked me to tell you she particularly loves being an eagle, and asks when are you doing another one!

~LR, UK

Thanks so much for these great meditations! I love listening to these and my kids’ favourite is your Starfish meditation. Most nights I find them sleeping with their arms and legs still out when I go to check on them!

~CMJ, Canada

The Yoga Sleep CD (or “Frog CD” as my three year old son calls it – a reference to the front cover) is a perfect way of winding him down in bed, either at the end of the day, or for one of those increasingly rare daytime naps. It immediately calms him as he adopts the initial pose and closes his eyes as instructed by the gentle voiceover. Having now had it playing quietly in his room probably around half of the nights since receiving the CD, he knows the drill and a combination of the guided meditation and increasingly the association of the CD with bedtime means that I don’t think he’s ever managed to stay awake to the very end of it. It’s beautifully produced, both in terms of its packaging and the quality of the music and voice recording.

Lomi Lomi Testimonials

Wicked!

~Client, Devon

Thank you SO much for the Lomi Lomi … What an experience!

~New Client, Devon

I feel cleansed and high on life

~Client, Devon

Somewhere deep inside I was still on the palm-fringed Hawaiian beach, the soft white sand scrunched between my bare toes… that’s the Lomi Lomi effect

~Clare Blake – Reviewer – Exeter Living Magazine, Autumn 2009

Lomi Lomi is not something that is done to you – it is more like a dance between your body and the flowing movements of the practitioner’s arms and hands

~Clare Blake – Reviewer – Exeter Living Magazine, Autumn 2009

Yes, it is a lot more than a massage. It’s an experience

~Client, Devon

It’s a gift of deep and exquisite healing

~Client, Oxfordshire

The best massage I have ever had. The Rolls Royce of all massages

~Client, London

Workshops Testimonials

Thank you both. The day was really good, could have done with it being a whole weekend!!! There’s so much information about lifestyle to fit in with the menopause. Your information has helped to direct me, to make the changes I need to make, so thank you for that. It was a lovely group, very giving and supportive.

~MS, Devon (Menopause Workshop 2018)

The Menopause Wellness & Vitality workshop hosted by Julie and Christine was amazing. We had a chance to share our experiences in a beautiful setting, with delicious home cooked food and a relaxing yoga meditation session. Thank you for a fantastic day.

~BE, Devon (Menopause Workshop 2018)

Just a quick note to say a very big thank you for an amazing morning at Lotus Loft today. It was brilliant and I cannot believe how quickly the morning went. I absolutely loved it. And Julie, as ever, your relaxation sessions was sublime!

~JM, Devon (The Power of the Moon Workshop 2018)

Thank you Julie Bladon and Jackie Dorrian-Jagdambe Ma for a fabulous Saturday celebrating the Power of the Moon – lovely to reconnect with Yoginis in Devon. I slept so well last night!

Marvelous day thanks Jackie & Julie. I learnt a lot (info) & lost a lot (toxins). What an experience.

I really enjoyed the two forms of yoga & the talks really opened my eyes & curiosity. Thank you for a wonderful workshop.

Tours Testimonials

A visit to India was always number one on my bucket list but I would never have had the courage to embark on this journey alone. I am so glad that I chose to go with Jackie and Julie. For me it was the perfect trip with the right blend of yoga, culture, sightseeing and relaxation

~India Tour 2018

This trip has had a lasting impact on me. India is a magical place and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who has considered it but has not yet had the confidence to take that step. You will be very well looked after and can rest assured that everything will be done to make sure that you have a life enhancing experience.

Thank you for a truly wondrous weekend in every way and most importantly the enormous benefits have lasted so well. We would love to join you again next year so please book us two places.

~Summer Retreat 2017

My favourite thing: The Lost Kriya! And the Yoga Nidra in pyjamas and the food and the stream and having a pot of tea and cake in the afternoon in the peaceful house. Also learning about Kali – basically the whole weekend (sorry too many favourite things to pick just one!)

Thank you Julie and Jackie for a wonderful week, full of joy and fun. It has been very interesting to experience different types of yoga practice and different teaching styles. I feel I have learned a lot and have been convinced that I can include daily yoga practice into my usual routine. You are both excellent inspirational teachers and I appreciate your hard work planning the sessions and all the smooth organisation. Thank you again for your patience and kindness.
